I'm not trying to sound dismissive or overly critical, but in what way is a $1000, GPU-less computer with 32GBs of RAM considered a "mini-PC"? The price point

The price point seems insane too high to be considered "mini" imo.
- azurenumber 2y agoWord "mini" is used , which usually signifies total volume of the case containing the components is approx. 1 litre.
- pseudalopex 2y agoMini means small. Not inexpensive.
- mcsniff 2y agoThe size? No snark, but seems pretty obvious mini refers to physical size.

- freedomben 2y agoInteresting, I've always thought the "mini" designation was more a commentary on size rather than price. When I think of a "mini" I expect it to be in a very compact case that makes it a lot more difficult to work on/upgrade/repair than a typical desktop, but be physically compact and able to fit in a small space.
